The threat landscape is an ever changing, fast paced environment and there's never been a more exciting time to join BT Security.

 
Our higher and full degree Cyber Security apprenticeships provides UK school leavers with a fantastic opportunity to start a career in security. This programme is versatile and you'll develop a blend of technical skills across cyber security, gained from practical work experience and your academic studies.

During your apprenticeship you will attend your place of study for 2-5 days each month.
